We often get many questions here at Family Office Central on buying a family office database.  The questions vary, however here are a few of the most asked:

- How effective can a family office database be?
Very.  If used, purchasing a family office database can be a very smart, and efficient way to source new capital.  We have seen a recent movement towards the family office space over the past 8-12 months due to the recent events in the alternative investment space.  We advise you to USE this time to take advantage.

- What are the KEY aspects to make sure your family office database includes?
We advise that the family office database that you purchase has at least all of the standard features (contact info, emails, phone etc).  HOWEVER, when you purchase a family office database we STRONGLY advise that you choose a provider (there are not that many to choose from) that provides some additional insight and color on the firms.  This will make your life MUCH easier as you work your way through the list.  A couple of the providers will give access to information such as where the office is looking to invest, what family(s) they are working with etc.  This is worth paying the extra money for.  Trust us.
